Synopsis: Important: tomcat6 security and bug fix update
Issue date: 2011-03-09
CVE Names: CVE-2010-4476 CVE-2011-0534
A denial of service flaw was found in the way certain strings were
converted to Double objects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
cause Tomcat to hang via a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2010-4476)
A flaw was found in the Tomcat NIO (Non-Blocking I/O) connector. A
remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service
(out-of-memory condition) via a specially-crafted request containing a
large NIO buffer size request value. (CVE-2011-0534)
This update also fixes the following bug:
* A bug in the "tomcat6" init script prevented additional Tomcat
instances from starting. As well, running "service tomcat6 start" caused
configuration options applied from "/etc/sysconfig/tomcat6" to be
overwritten with those from "/etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf". With this
update, multiple instances of Tomcat run as expected. (BZ#676922)
Tomcat must be restarted for this update to take effect.
